Saunders: 2023 Rockies feel like ’05 Rockies, except Rocktober is not around the corner

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:36:28 GMT

In the summer of 2005, I was demoted — there’s no other word for it — from my job as a Broncos beat writer and assigned to cover the Rockies.At the time, it felt like I was being banished to Siberia.I’ve always loved baseball, and I came to love my new beat, but the Rockies were bottoming out at the time, and interest in the team was waning. The Rocky Mountain region finally got its major league team in 1993 but the euphoria from that had worn off. Coors Field opened in 1995, but 10 years later the buzz was gone.In 2005, the Rockies averaged 23,634 fans per game, the worst in franchise history, not counting the pandemic seasons of 2020-21. The Rockies counted 1.4 million fans through the turnstiles at Coors, the only time they have failed to draw 2 million fans in a season.Those ’05 Rockies opened the season 6-21 en route to a 67-95 record.I certainly didn’t know it at the time — did anyone? — but small hints of 2007’s  Rocktober miracle were beginning ...
